Apple is definitely just as fucking terrible.
Compared to Google? Idk. Google doesn't sell any products to the end user so that says a lot about who the customers are.
Apple sells products. Apple users ARE the customers.
No. Apple's just getting paid from both sides.
Hard agree. Apple's ecosystem is primarily completely closed-source. If you abandon them or they abandon you you're left with nothing. At least with open source-based projects like Chrome/Firefox you can fork the code and not have to start from zero against a goliath. Apple would never give its customers that kind of leverage.
